Developing criteria (Option 2: engaging with criteria)
Use Case
A very low-threshold way in – the point of the task is not the first answer but the follow-up questions students keep asking until they understand. Students ask for criteria for good academic work, for instance for a good academic discussion, keep asking until each criterion makes sense to them, add ideas of their own and compile a shared list of criteria for the course. Note: The criteria offered are a starting point, not an authority – weighing them against students’ own thinking and discussing them in the course is explicitly part of the task.
Example Prompt
What are criteria for a good academic discussion?
